Stars with Diabetes

Nick Jonas, cont'd

Since going public with his condition, Nick Jonas has gone above and beyond to help support other young adults who are coming to terms with their own health issues. Jonas gives this advice to newly diagnosed diabetes patients: “Don’t let it slow you down at all. I made a promise to myself on the way to the hospital that I wouldn’t let this thing slow me down and I’d just keep moving forward.” To support and inspire children facing adversity, Jonas and his brothers created the Change for the Children Foundation. He also has supported the Red Cross and USAID, which provide disaster relief and health programs such as HIV/AIDS prevention education.
